The Limeport Milkmen

When you think of spring, you think of one thing......baseball. For the past couple of years the Southern Lehigh baseball team has reigned in the Colonial League and have been called the Limeport Milkmen.

This year one of their best players and one of my long time best friends has been diagnosed with leukemia and will see limited playing time. David Ortwein is a senior and has played baseball for as long as I can remember. His classmates, team mates, coaches, and family have been raising money to help him through this tough time.

The first home game of the 2009 season was against Central Catholic. It was my first time shooting anything at the stadium so i didn't really get much but i got two shots that i really like.

This is one of my favorite shots I have from any 2009 sports season. I was shooting from the third base line and a right handed batter took one to opposite field and the second baseman was diving for the ball as the runner on first was sliding into second while stealing second base.

That's all I got from the first game. The second home game was against Palmerton, from talking to the guys in school they said it should be an easy game......we'll see i said haha. The picture below was taken right before the ball was pulled right down the third base line and almost killed me, ok well idk if it was that close but it was close enough to get my heart going lol.

One type of baseball pictures that I really like are of the pitcher, so for about half an hour I tried really hard to get a couple of cool looking pitcher shots. This is what I got.

I will stop rambling now and show you the rest of the pictures from the game.
